Origin | Suizawa-cho, Yokkaichi City, Mie Prefecture
Feature | Kabuse, Deep-steamed
Extremely Deep Umami. Sweet Aromas Reminiscent of Corn and Chestnuts.
Mie Prefecture is renowned for producing Kabusecha, a type of Sencha known for its rich Umami and unique aroma.
The most prominent characteristic of this grower's tea is a sweet aroma, evoking corn and chestnut. There, a rich Umami spreads, giving the tea a soft mouthfeel, resulting in a flavor often compared to a savory dashi (Japanese soup stock).
It's rare for me to encounter tea with such a distinctive aroma. Please enjoy this cup—a bold, unique experience that pushes the limits of this cultivar's characteristics, offering something truly different from ordinary Sencha.
What to notice: The deep flavor unique to Kabusecha, a tea that maximizes Umami. The cultivar's characteristic aroma.
